I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the iDRAMA Lab under the guidance of Dr. Jeremy Blackburn at the State University of New York, Binghamton. I have a master’s degree focused on AI-related research projects from Auburn University, Alabama. My industrial experience includes working as an iOS Software Engineer for 3+ years. Besides having three college degrees in Computer Science, I love teaching and mentoring.
Research Work
Computational Social Science, AI (NLP), Network Science
- My research interest involves studying large-scale data from social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and 4chan by applying Statistical methods, NLP techniques (e.g., LLM) and Computer vision.
- My most recent research focuses on developing an automated social media content moderation system using open-source Llama 3.1 (LLM) models.
- I also work on understanding memes and videos that propagate misinformation using multimodal fusion techniques.
